{Double} Chocolate Banana Cake {with Coconut Milk Ganache}

Who would have thought you could make such a moist and delicious cake without adding any oil or butter?! This {Double} Chocolate Banana Cake gets its moist texture from a little bit of apple sauce and lots of bananas! It’s so tasty you won’t even miss the added fat!

Over the past year my daughter has been struggling with some stomach issues that we’ve been trying to diagnose. After speaking to her doctor we think we have it pinned down to Lactose intolerance. She has tried taking lactaid pills before she has anything with dairy in it but it doesn’t always seem to work. Right now we are trying to eliminate all milk products completely. It can be a little challenging since she loves so many things that have milk, cream or cheese added. But her stomach is much happier without it so I’ve been trying to get creative with some recipes.

I adapted this recipe from one that I found at Friday is Cake Night. It caught my eye because is looked so moist and delicious and didn’t have any oil or butter added. We’ve also been trying to eat a little bit healthier in the new year so I thought this would be a great recipe to try. I made a few adaptions and added a coconut milk ganache and it was just as moist and delicious as it looks!

My husband and I went dairy-free per our doctor, for a few months (though we’re back on the dairy now.) It was honestly one of the hardest transitions, especially when it came to baking and baked goods. I wish I had this cake recipe back then, but it looks so good I think everyone (DF and non-DF would love it!) You are one of my features for #FoodieFriDIY this week – going live tonight!
